[quote=DamonLinkous]Doing a little more reading about this there doesn't seem to be an agreed route for the record. Greg Holman's is attempting from the Canaries to Guadeloupe and says two others have completed that route solo, with the record at 14 days 17 hours.
But I found this guy Vittorio Malingri who just completed a solo Atlantic crossing on a custom carbon 20 foot beachcat this year
[quote]It took Vittorio Malingri just 13 days, 17 hours and 48 minutes to sail 2,545 miles from Dakar, Senegal to Guadeloupe, Antilles. [/quote]
So his route was shorter and left from Senegal rather than the canaries, which is sort of the normal starting point for these type runs.
